U-Pin

I have tons of U pins in all kinds of sizes and materials. This is the best one I've tried! The size is perfect, not too big but still holds really well (you don't have to deal with excessive length sticking out like with many other U pins). It also stays more secure than most U pins (I think because of how it gets thicker towards the bend). It's lightweight, so kind to you scalp. And then there is the matte texture, which makes it less likely to slip out, but it's still smooth and not damaging to hair. I would love to get this pin in other MATTE colors :-)

I have thick, layered hair that hits my shoulder blades. I have several U-Pins, and this is the best. One is enough to comfortably pin my hair in a bun or chignon and it stays all day. I chose black. It’s a soft, matte finish and completely opaque.
